Drupal troubles: Modules and "Allowed memory size"

17-03-2013, 14:49

Hi, I've installed Drupal using softaculous (installing "manually" didn't go well), but am running into 2 problems that prevent me from getting the site gonig at all

1) I installed several modules, including Views, "Backup and Migrate", and Superfish. They seem to install but then when I click on "configure" for Superfish or Backup (from the Admin/Modules page) Drupal takes me to the "Structure" admin page, and there is no way to configure Superfish, or create a View, or do a backup.

I looked at the DB and there were no entries for superfish in the menu-links or menu-router tables. There were on the other hand tables for the Backup & Migrate module. This suggests to me that installation failed at different times

2) it occurred to me that I didn't need the "Backup and Migrate" on my cPanel installantaion of Drupal, but could use the SQL created by this module on my test server, and upload via PHPMYSQL. Alas after doing this, the site wouldn't work at all, and routinely gives me this error:

I have forwarded this to a Linux tech to look into. Can you kindly confirm the domain name in question is the commissioningnhs domain? Can you provide me with a ticket number if you have opened any, I can get a Linux tech to respond to this quickly via the ticket system.

Thanks very much both - yes it is the commissioningnhs domain. I tried to install Drupal again, but am still getting exactly the same error. It is still saying "Allowed memory size of 33554432 exhausted"

I've read some posts on Drupal forums saying that php_value memory_limit needs to be set quite high. here is one thread:
